Alex was a spectacular guide & driver, offering both an amazing experience & genuine conversation!
We were a group of four with 2 adventurous kids (7&9) and we toured Masai Mara and Lake Nakura with Alex as our driver. The experience was fantastic- he picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and took care of everything. He knew where to go to find every animal we were excited to see and also shared a lot of really great info about animals, plants and all sorts of things. I especially was excited to ... Read more see different birds, and so he spotted a ton of them for me and accommodated me taking photos of them. The kids also had a blast and really enjoyed the adventure driving and pop top Land Cruiser. The Sopa lodges in both places were great, with Lake Nakura slightly better than Masai Mara in terms of facilities (and view!), but both super in service. If you come with kids who are picky eaters, I would bring extra snacks for the days out in the reserves/parks.
All in all, we had a terrific time with Axis - easy planning and payment and really flexible. If I had it to do again, I would add an extra day to spend more time in Lake Nakura to enjoy the lodge.
I highly recommend both Axis and Alex!
Amacing
Francis its a great guide, he made saffari a memorable experience
Adventure of a lifetime
Frente m beginning to the end and amazing experience. Our guide Francis was top class, kind, fun, with a lot of knowledge about wildlife and an excellent driver. The drive game was awesome experience. Francis did his best getting us near for observation on our journey to find the big 5. Also sorting many challenges on the road, as it was rainy season, always keep us safe and calm.

Excellent from start to finish
We had a very positive experience on this tour from start to finish. All communications and organisation of our trip was very clear, timely and smooth running with any member of staff that we were in touch with. Our two guides for this Masai Mara 3 day/2night safari were brilliant - Rogers & Caleb. They were both very friendly, sociable and entertaining for our journey from Nairobi to the Masai Ma ... Read morera and kept our group fully briefed on where and when we were stopping and the timetable we could expect. On both of our game spotting safaris into the Masai Mara, they were very knowledgable and informative about animals that we saw and where to best find the rarer of the wild animals we hoped to spot. We were extremely lucky to see so many animals and we feel that this was down to their expertise and commitment to providing a professional service. The accommodation and food were also excellent and great value for money. We would definitely recommend this trip to anybody looking for an amazing safari with professional, approachable and knowledgeable guides. Thank you so much!

Thanks to our guide Joni for finding unusual animals and showing us beautiful places! The hotel in Savannah was unusual and very atmospheric, the other hotels were good, the service and staff in the hotels were very welcoming and friendly! The safari was amazing!

Very good experience
One of the reasons why we have chosen Axis Safari is that they were very understanding to the situation for Russians and allowed us to fully pay for the Safari in cash.
Second best experience of the Azis were our guides Rodgers and Kaleb. They really cared about us, helped me when I felt sick, they were very good at hunting animals and finding the animals for us. Also they were always trying to t ... Read moreell us some interesting facts about Kenya, wildlife, masai people. So we were definitely not bored during the whole trip.
I definitely recommend Axis team and Rodgers with Kaled as guides. The price was good, the car always clean, we had free water and charging sockets. Really worth it
All well organised no complaints at all!
We are on way home from the best 3 days on safari! It was a wonderful experience made all the more memorable by our absolutely incredible guide Kelvin! He was just a wealth of knowledge - didn't matter what we asked he could answer - but we didn't have to ask much as he told us so much as we went through the park. Also even though he has done this for 12 years he made our experience special and ne ... Read morever tired air appeared bored! He seemed to delight in our excitement. When we got to animals he was always fab at position truck so we had best view! Totally recommend Axis as your company and if going again I would def ask for Kelvin!
